a place specifically designed to surveil and defend itself with lethal force

You mean the place that, if these were thieves indeed, would have been robed if a farmer did not happen to stroll by?

    You are describing the local police response outside the base, the base itself might have been observing and shadowing them the entire time.

    Do you know, or have reason to believe, the base was observing and shadowing them the entire time?

    I cannot disclose that information, largely because I don't know.

    ... and that is fair. You may be right on this but nothing I have read give me the impression the military was actually watching them.

    Honestly, I know little about UK but in NA it seems we have drank the Hollywood koolaid too long and believe some super hero version of reality
